The American Classic® line combines tradition and Vic Firth style. With bold designs, the Classics are turned from select hickory — a dense wood with little flex for a more pronounced sound. Hickory is also capable of withstanding a great deal of shock, making it highly durable. The tips are deeply back-cut for intensified cymbal response.

Shout Outs:

Thank you @vicfirth for making me badass sticks for me to beat my drums up with #myperfectpair #VF2B

From someone who utilizes the rebound stroke, this is the best stick for balance & weight. Smooth rolls and effortless control! #MyPerfectPair #VF5B

@jamie_fraservia Twitter

#MyPerfectPair is the #VF55A because it's a blend of the wonderful 5A and 5B!

My Extreme 5A sometimes feels to long, my Jojo sticks are too small. 5A always works. No matter what I play or what I'm planning on.

Thank you so much for the X8D. I used 8D for years, but always thought it would be perfect for me if it was a little longer, thank you.

I play @vicfirth sticks because they are made with absolute pin point precision. A true work of art and I will always endorse them #VF8D

New For 2018

Improve Your Grip with PureGrit and DoubleGlaze!

Because every drummer’s body chemistry is unique, one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to finding a way to improve grip. Vic Firth’s American Classic® PureGrit and DoubleGlaze sticks are designed to offer two new tactile experiences for the 5A and 5B player. Together with VicGrip and our classic clear lacquer, PureGrit and DoubleGlaze offer players even more possibilities to find their own perfect feel.

American Classic® PureGrit: For Sweaty Hands

The American Classic® PureGrit sticks are not only lacquer-free, but also undergo a unique abrasive processing step, which adds a touch of “grittiness” and raw wood texture to the shaft. Because the stick is not treated, over time the player’s perspiration and oil penetrates the surface of the stick, creating a natural feel and a oneness with the wood.

American Classic® DoubleGlaze: For Dry Hands

On the opposite side of the spectrum, theAmerican Classic® DoubleGlaze sticks are coated with a specialized lacquer formula which creates a characteristically tacky feel. Players with especially dry hands will appreciate the enhanced lacquered surface because it allows them to relax their grip on the stick. The thick DoubleGlaze coating also adds a bit of mass to the stick for a solid feel.
